* Emit invalidations to standby for transactions without xid.Andres Freund2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, when a transaction with pending invalidations, but without an assigned xid, committed, we simply ignored those invalidation messages. That's problematic, because those are actually sent for a reason. Known symptoms of this include that existing sessions on a hot-standby replica sometimes fail to notice new concurrently built indexes and visibility map updates. The solution is to WAL log such invalidations in transactions without an xid. We considered to alternatively force-assign an xid, but that'd be problematic for vacuum, which might be run in systems with few xids. Important: This adds a new WAL record, but as the patch has to be back-patched, we can't bump the WAL page magic. This means that standbys have to be updated before primaries; otherwise "PANIC: standby_redo: unknown op code 32" errors can be encountered.

* Impose a full barrier in generic-xlc.h atomics functions.Noah Misch2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | pg_atomic_compare_exchange_*_impl() were providing only the semantics of an acquire barrier. Buildfarm members hornet and mandrill revealed this deficit beginning with commit 008608b9d51061b1f598c197477b3dc7be9c4a64. While we have no report of symptoms in 9.5, we can't rule out the possibility of certain compilers, hardware, or extension code relying on these functions' specified barrier semantics. Back-patch to 9.5, where commit b64d92f1a5602c55ee8b27a7ac474f03b7aee340 introduced atomics. Reviewed by Andres Freund.

* Add a --brief option to git_changelog.Tom Lane2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | In commit c0b050192, Andres introduced the idea of including one-line commit references in our major release notes. Teach git_changelog to emit a (lightly adapted) version of that format, so that we don't have to laboriously add it to the notes after the fact. The default output isn't changed, since I anticipate still using that for minor release notes.

* Fix order of shutdown cleanup operations in PostgresNode.pm.Tom Lane2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, database clusters created by a TAP test were shut down by DESTROY methods attached to the PostgresNode objects representing them. The trouble with that is that if the objects survive into the final global destruction phase (which they do), Perl executes the DESTROY methods in an unspecified order. Thus, the order of shutdown of multiple clusters was indeterminate, which might lead to not-very-reproducible errors getting logged (eg from a slave whose master might or might not get killed first). Worse, the File::Temp objects representing the temporary PGDATA directories might get destroyed before the PostgresNode objects, resulting in attempts to delete PGDATA directories that still have live servers in them. On Windows, this would lead to directory deletion failures; on Unix, it usually had no effects worse than erratic "could not open temporary statistics file "pg_stat/global.tmp": No such file or directory" log messages. While none of this would affect the reported result of the TAP test, which is already determined, it could be very confusing when one is trying to understand from the logs what went wrong with a failed test. To fix, do the postmaster shutdowns in an END block rather than at object destruction time. The END block will execute at a well-defined (and reasonable) time during script termination, and it will stop the postmasters in order of PostgresNode object creation. (Perhaps we should change that to be reverse order of creation, but the main point here is that we now have control which we did not before.) Use "pg_ctl stop", not an asynchronous kill(SIGQUIT), so that we wait for the postmasters to shut down before proceeding with directory deletion. Deletion of temporary directories still happens in an unspecified order during global destruction, but I can see no reason to care about that once the postmasters are stopped.
* Yet more portability hacking for degree-based trig functions.Tom Lane2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The true explanation for Peter Eisentraut's report of inexact asind results seems to be that (a) he's compiling into x87 instruction set, which uses wider-than-double float registers, plus (b) the library function asin() on his platform returns a result that is wider than double and is not rounded to double width. To fix, we have to force the function's result to be rounded comparably to what happened to the scaling constant asin_0_5. Experimentation suggests that storing it into a volatile local variable is the least ugly way of making that happen. Although only asin() is known to exhibit an observable inexact result, we'd better do this in all the places where we're hoping to get an exact result by scaling.
* Enable parallel query by default.Robert Haas2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | Change max_parallel_degree default from 0 to 2. It is possible that this is not a good idea, or that we should go with 1 worker rather than 2, but we won't find out without trying it. Along the way, reword the documentation for max_parallel_degree a little bit to hopefully make it more clear. Discussion: 20160420174631.3qjjhpwsvvx5bau5@alap3.anarazel.de

* New method for preventing compile-time calculation of degree constants.Tom Lane2016-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 65abaab547a5758b tried to prevent the scaling constants used in the degree-based trig functions from being precomputed at compile time, because some compilers do that with functions that don't yield results identical-to-the-last-bit to what you get at runtime. A report from Peter Eisentraut suggests that some recent compilers are smart enough to see through that trick, though. Instead, let's put the inputs to these calculations into non-const global variables, which should be a more reliable way of convincing the compiler that it can't assume that they are compile-time constants. (If we really get desperate, we could mark these variables "volatile", but I do not believe we should have to.)
* Try harder to detect a port conflict in PostgresNode.pm.Tom Lane2016-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit fab84c7787f25756 tried to get away without doing an actual bind(), but buildfarm results show that that doesn't get the job done. So we must really bind to the target port --- and at least on my Linux box, we need a listen() as well, or conflicts won't be detected. We rely on SO_REUSEADDR to prevent problems from starting a postmaster on the socket immediately after we've bound to it in the test code. (There may be platforms where that doesn't work too well. But fortunately, we only really care whether this works on Windows, and there the default behavior should be OK.)

* Improve PostgresNode.pm's logic for detecting already-in-use ports.Tom Lane2016-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm members bowerbird and jacana have shown intermittent "could not bind IPv4 socket" failures in the BinInstallCheck stage since mid-December, shortly after commits 1caef31d9e550408 and 9821492ee417a591 changed the logic for selecting which port to use in temporary installations. One plausible explanation is that we are randomly selecting ports that are already in use for some non-Postgres purpose. Although the code tried to defend against already-in-use ports, it used pg_isready to probe the port which is quite unhelpful: if some non-Postgres server responds at the given address, pg_isready will generally say "no response", leading to exactly the wrong conclusion about whether the port is free. Instead, let's use a simple TCP connect() call to see if anything answers without making assumptions about what it is. Note that this means there's no direct check for a conflicting Unix socket, but that should be okay because there should be no other Unix sockets in use in the temporary socket directory created for a test run. This is only a partial solution for the TCP case, since if the port number is in use for an outgoing connection rather than a listening socket, we'll fail to detect that. We could try to bind() to the proposed port as a means of detecting that case, but that would introduce its own failure modes, since the system might consider the address to remain reserved for some period of time after we drop the bound socket. Close study of the errors returned by bowerbird and jacana suggests that what we're seeing there may be conflicts with listening not outgoing sockets, so let's try this and see if it improves matters. It's certainly better than what's there now, in any case. Michael Paquier, adjusted by me to work on non-Windows as well as Windows

* Convert contrib/seg's bool-returning SQL functions to V1 call convention.Tom Lane2016-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that we can no longer get away with using V0 call convention for bool-returning functions in newer versions of MSVC. The compiler seems to generate code that doesn't clear the higher-order bits of the result register, causing the bool result Datum to often read as "true" when "false" was intended. This is not very surprising, since the function thinks it's returning a bool-width result but fmgr_oldstyle assumes that V0 functions return "char *"; what's surprising is that that hack worked for so long on so many platforms. The only functions of this description in core+contrib are in contrib/seg, which we'd intentionally left mostly in V0 style to serve as a warning canary if V0 call convention breaks. We could imagine hacking things so that they're still V0 (we'd have to redeclare the bool-returning functions as returning some suitably wide integer type, like size_t, at the C level). But on the whole it seems better to convert 'em to V1. We can still leave the pointer- and int-returning functions in V0 style, so that the test coverage isn't gone entirely. Back-patch to 9.5, since our intention is to support VS2015 in 9.5 and later. There's no SQL-level change in the functions' behavior so back-patching should be safe enough.

* Fix unexpected side-effects of operator_precedence_warning.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The implementation of that feature involves injecting nodes into the raw parsetree where explicit parentheses appear. Various places in parse_expr.c that test to see "is this child node of type Foo" need to look through such nodes, else we'll get different behavior when operator_precedence_warning is on than when it is off. Note that we only need to handle this when testing untransformed child nodes, since the AEXPR_PAREN nodes will be gone anyway after transformExprRecurse. Per report from Scott Ribe and additional code-reading. Back-patch to 9.5 where this feature was added. Report: <ED37E303-1B0A-4CD8-8E1E-B9C4C2DD9A17@elevated-dev.com>
* Fix planner failure with full join in RHS of left join.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a left join containing a full join in its righthand side, with the left join's joinclause referencing only one side of the full join (in a non-strict fashion, so that the full join doesn't get simplified), the planner could fail with "failed to build any N-way joins" or related errors. This happened because the full join was seen as overlapping the left join's RHS, and then recent changes within join_is_legal() caused that function to conclude that the full join couldn't validly be formed. Rather than try to rejigger join_is_legal() yet more to allow this, I think it's better to fix initsplan.c so that the required join order is explicit in the SpecialJoinInfo data structure. The previous coding there essentially ignored full joins, relying on the fact that we don't flatten them in the joinlist data structure to preserve their ordering. That's sufficient to prevent a wrong plan from being formed, but as this example shows, it's not sufficient to ensure that the right plan will be formed. We need to work a bit harder to ensure that the right plan looks sane according to the SpecialJoinInfos. Per bug #14105 from Vojtech Rylko. This was apparently induced by commit 8703059c6 (though now that I've seen it, I wonder whether there are related cases that could have failed before that); so back-patch to all active branches. Unfortunately, that patch also went into 9.0, so this bug is a regression that won't be fixed in that branch.

Although this is just cosmetic, back-patch anyway since I'm intending to back-patch some less-cosmetic changes in this same hunk of code.

* Fix ruleutils.c's dumping of ScalarArrayOpExpr containing an EXPR_SUBLINK.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we shoehorned "x op ANY (array)" into the SQL syntax, we created a fundamental ambiguity as to the proper treatment of a sub-SELECT on the righthand side: perhaps what's meant is to compare x against each row of the sub-SELECT's result, or perhaps the sub-SELECT is meant as a scalar sub-SELECT that delivers a single array value whose members should be compared against x. The grammar resolves it as the former case whenever the RHS is a select_with_parens, making the latter case hard to reach --- but you can get at it, with tricks such as attaching a no-op cast to the sub-SELECT. Parse analysis would throw away the no-op cast, leaving a parsetree with an EXPR_SUBLINK SubLink directly under a ScalarArrayOpExpr. ruleutils.c was not clued in on this fine point, and would naively emit "x op ANY ((SELECT ...))", which would be parsed as the first alternative, typically leading to errors like "operator does not exist: text = text[]" during dump/reload of a view or rule containing such a construct. To fix, emit a no-op cast when dumping such a parsetree. This might well be exactly what the user wrote to get the construct accepted in the first place; and even if she got there with some other dodge, it is a valid representation of the parsetree. Per report from Karl Czajkowski. He mentioned only a case involving RLS policies, but actually the problem is very old, so back-patch to all supported branches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | That commit increased all shared memory allocations to the next higher multiple of PG_CACHE_LINE_SIZE, but it didn't ensure that allocation started on a cache line boundary. It also failed to remove a couple other pieces of now-useless code. BUFFERALIGN() is perhaps obsolete at this point, and likely should be removed at some point, too, but that seems like it can be left to a future cleanup. Mistakes all pointed out by Andres Freund. The patch is mine, with a few extra assertions which I adopted from his version of this fix.

* Inline initial comparisons in TestForOldSnapshot()Kevin Grittner2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | Even with old_snapshot_threshold = -1 (which disables the "snapshot too old" feature), performance regressions were seen at moderate to high concurrency. For example, a one-socket, four-core system running 200 connections at saturation could see up to a 2.3% regression, with larger regressions possible on NUMA machines. By inlining the early (smaller, faster) tests in the TestForOldSnapshot() function, the i7 case dropped to a 0.2% regression, which could easily just be noise, and is clearly an improvement. Further testing will show whether more is needed.
* postgres_fdw: Don't push down certain full joins.Robert Haas2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there's a filter condition on either side of a full outer join, it is neither correct to attach it to the join's ON clause nor to throw it into the toplevel WHERE clause. Just don't push down the join in that case. To maximize the number of cases where we can still push down full joins, push inner join conditions into the ON clause at the first opportunity rather than postponing them to the top-level WHERE clause. This produces nicer SQL, anyway. This bug was introduced in e4106b2528727c4b48639c0e12bf2f70a766b910. Ashutosh Bapat, per report from Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.
* Honor PGCTLTIMEOUT environment variable for pg_regress' startup wait.Tom Lane2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 2ffa86962077c588 we made pg_ctl recognize an environment variable PGCTLTIMEOUT to set the default timeout for starting and stopping the postmaster. However, pg_regress uses pg_ctl only for the "stop" end of that; it has bespoke code for starting the postmaster, and that code has historically had a hard-wired 60-second timeout. Further buildfarm experience says it'd be a good idea if that timeout were also controlled by PGCTLTIMEOUT, so let's make it so. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all active branches.

* Fix memory leak and other bugs in ginPlaceToPage() & subroutines.Tom Lane2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 36a35c550ac114ca turned the interface between ginPlaceToPage and its subroutines in gindatapage.c and ginentrypage.c into a royal mess: page-update critical sections were started in one place and finished in another place not even in the same file, and the very same subroutine might return having started a critical section or not. Subsequent patches band-aided over some of the problems with this design by making things even messier. One user-visible resulting problem is memory leaks caused by the need for the subroutines to allocate storage that would survive until ginPlaceToPage calls XLogInsert (as reported by Julien Rouhaud). This would not typically be noticeable during retail index updates. It could be visible in a GIN index build, in the form of memory consumption swelling to several times the commanded maintenance_work_mem. Another rather nasty problem is that in the internal-page-splitting code path, we would clear the child page's GIN_INCOMPLETE_SPLIT flag well before entering the critical section that it's supposed to be cleared in; a failure in between would leave the index in a corrupt state. There were also assorted coding-rule violations with little immediate consequence but possible long-term hazards, such as beginning an XLogInsert sequence before entering a critical section, or calling elog(DEBUG) inside a critical section. To fix, redefine the API between ginPlaceToPage() and its subroutines by splitting the subroutines into two parts. The "beginPlaceToPage" subroutine does what can be done outside a critical section, including full computation of the result pages into temporary storage when we're going to split the target page. The "execPlaceToPage" subroutine is called within a critical section established by ginPlaceToPage(), and it handles the actual page update in the non-split code path. The critical section, as well as the XLOG insertion call sequence, are both now always started and finished in ginPlaceToPage(). Also, make ginPlaceToPage() create and work in a short-lived memory context to eliminate the leakage problem. (Since a short-lived memory context had been getting created in the most common code path in the subroutines, this shouldn't cause any noticeable performance penalty; we're just moving the overhead up one call level.) In passing, fix a bunch of comments that had gone unmaintained throughout all this klugery. Report: <571276DD.5050303@dalibo.com>
* Revert no-op changes to BufferGetPage()Kevin Grittner2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reverted changes were intended to force a choice of whether any newly-added BufferGetPage() calls needed to be accompanied by a test of the snapshot age, to support the "snapshot too old" feature. Such an accompanying test is needed in about 7% of the cases, where the page is being used as part of a scan rather than positioning for other purposes (such as DML or vacuuming). The additional effort required for back-patching, and the doubt whether the intended benefit would really be there, have indicated it is best just to rely on developers to do the right thing based on comments and existing usage, as we do with many other conventions. This change should have little or no effect on generated executable code. Motivated by the back-patching pain of Tom Lane and Robert Haas
* Improve regression tests for degree-based trigonometric functions.Tom Lane2016-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Print the actual value of each function result that's expected to be exact, rather than merely emitting a NULL if it's not right. Although we print these with extra_float_digits = 3, we should not trust that the platform will produce a result visibly different from the expected value if it's off only in the last place; hence, also include comparisons against the exact values as before. This is a bit bulkier and uglier than the previous printout, but it will provide more information and be easier to interpret if there's a test failure. Discussion: <18241.1461073100@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Make partition-lock-release coding more transparent in BufferAlloc().Tom Lane2016-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity complained that oldPartitionLock was possibly dereferenced after having been set to NULL. That actually can't happen, because we'd only use it if (oldFlags & BM_TAG_VALID) is true. But nonetheless Coverity is justified in complaining, because at line 1275 we actually overwrite oldFlags, and then still expect its BM_TAG_VALID bit to be a safe guide to whether to release the oldPartitionLock. Thus, the code would be incorrect if someone else had changed the buffer's BM_TAG_VALID flag meanwhile. That should not happen, since we hold pin on the buffer throughout this sequence, but it's starting to look like a rather shaky chain of logic. And there's no need for such assumptions, because we can simply replace the (oldFlags & BM_TAG_VALID) tests with (oldPartitionLock != NULL), which has identical results and makes it plain to all comers that we don't dereference a null pointer. A small side benefit is that the range of liveness of oldFlags is greatly reduced, possibly allowing the compiler to save a register. This is just cleanup, not an actual bug fix, so there seems no need for a back-patch.
* Further reduce the number of semaphores used under --disable-spinlocks.Tom Lane2016-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, there doesn't seem to be much value in having NUM_SPINLOCK_SEMAPHORES set to 1024: under any scenario where you are running more than a few backends concurrently, you really had better have a real spinlock implementation if you want tolerable performance. And 1024 semaphores is a sizable fraction of the system-wide SysV semaphore limit on many platforms. Therefore, reduce this setting's default value to 128 to make it less likely to cause out-of-semaphores problems.

Most of the time, on most platforms, such oversights can escape notice because all-zeroes is the expected initial content of an slock_t variable. The only platform we have where the initialized state of an slock_t isn't zeroes is HPPA, and that's practically gone in the wild. To make it easier to catch such errors without needing one of those, adjust the --disable-spinlocks code so that zero is not a valid value for an slock_t for it. In passing, remove a bunch of unnecessary #include's from spin.c; commit daa7527afc227443 removed all the intermodule coupling that made them necessary.
